The Orthodox Christian Mission Center, St. Augustine, FL – Join the
Missions and Evangelism conference as it “Goes to the Rockies”.
For the first time the annual Orthodox Conference on Missions and
Evangelism is going to the Rocky Mountains, specifically the Glen Eyrie
Conference Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event will run
from September 1-4 (Labor Day Weekend). This year’s Conference will
focus on “What Can We Do BETTER to Bring America to Orthodoxy?” and
boasts a roster of five principle speakers.
Heading the lineup will be His Eminence Metropolitan ISAIAH of Denver,
whose featured topic will be “Evangelism and the Second Coming of
Christ”. Joining him will be Fr. Patrick Reardon, senior editor of
Touchstone Magazine and one of America’s most persuasive and highly
regarded Orthodox evangelistic authors. Fr. Moses Berry, president of
the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black will address the cultural and
ethnic universality of Orthodox Christianity.
The Mission Center is proud to announce that our very own, Fr. Luke
Veronis, who brings two decades of foreign missionary experience to
domestic outreach will be speaking about “The Importance of Foreign
Missions to Domestic Church Growth”. Fr. Luke was an OCMC Missionary for
ten years in Albania. Also speaking at the conference will be OCMC
Board Member, Fr. Peter Gillquist, noted Orthodox evangelist, author,
and director of the Antiochian Archdiocese Department of Missions and
Evangelism.
The Orthodox Conference on Missions and Evangelism is a wonderful
opportunity for clergy, laity, or inquirers to learn more about the
Orthodox Christian Faith, how to share it and help our parishes grow,
and how to start new missions. Each year participants rave about the
Conference being both educational and spiritually renewing, and go home
much better equipped to conduct outreach in their communities.
Conference registration begins at $395 for early registration (before
August 10), which includes three nights lodging (double room occupancy),
all meals, a banquet, and study materials. The Orthodox Conference on
Missions and Evangelism is a cross-jurisdictional event hosted by the

Christian Mission Center (OCMC). For further information or to
